Come and Suffer here

This morning my mom had a couple of seizures. It’s times like these where I just want to be back home supporting my family and I feel so much guilt. I am currently on a ferry to Vancouver and feeling especially trapped. I just got off the phone with my dad and was feeling a little emotional and so I walk in to the shop to browse some books to prevent myself from a breakdown and what song comes on the moment I enter the shop?! Slip Away by Mumford and Sons. I have listened to that entire album on repeat since my moms diagnosis. 

No more questions no more lies
Do and deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
Waiting patient for the sun to rise
In reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
You find me waiting here for you
Come and suffer here
You find me holding my breath for you
Come and suffer here
In the violence of a mind's eye
We had a deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
Don't you lie down
Be still in love
Don't you leave now
Be still in love
Don't you leave now
Be still
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you  I
